As we begin to heal the health of our soils, making them richer in organic matter, we improve the nutrient availability of the soil. If our soils have increased nutrients, our food becomes rich in these nutrients. This is true when thinking about vegetables and cereals, but also as the soils on our grassy, herb rich pastures improve, the healthier our outdoor reared livestock become. Yummy!

The way we farm places an emphasis on working with nature, not against it. Organic farming means we do not use chemicals in our food production. Farming regeneratively means that every decision we make, we do it to enhance the health of the soil.

Farms were once places filled with trees and hedgerows, they were mixed farms, host to both arable production, vegetable cropping and the rearing of livestock. Biodiversity in our crops and the very design of our farm is key in creating healthy and thriving habitats where nature can thrive. Building these kind of ecosystems helps to fertilise our soils, attract beneficial insects onto our farm and build natural resilience against the extremes of weather we face in Britain today.

Chemicals such as herbicides, pesticides and fungisdies are all designed to kill unwanted things on a farm. Can all that death really bring about life in our food? We don't beilive it can. There is a better way, a way in which we can work with nature to manage pests and diseases and eliminate the need for chemicals.

The majority of food we buy from supermarkets has hundreds of food miles on it. Food miles come with large carbon footprints too! Not only that, but food supply is then susceptible to global markets. Growing food independently here in Great Barton, and selling to our local community, we can collectively survive and thrive when growers and consumers join together.

Good, healthy food has always been expensive, but does it have to be? We want to strike the balance between fair pricing and fair wages. We don't want the price of our food to be a barrier to accessing it, therefore we have adopted a payment scale that empowers you to pay what you can, whilst maintaining a fair wage for the growers of your food.
